SAMENESS AND DIFFERENCE

The greatest part of life

is not about difference but about sameness. Days are more alike than they are different; people are; so are places. Yet we understand difference: differences, we feel, are most telling, revealing. Still, it is in sameness that we can start to see pattern. The pattern in sameness allows us to see structure. What we see in difference allows us to see process.

That's the notion, anyway. Is it true?
